Reducing agent trend of group 2 in periodic table
2 Answers
The Group II elements are powerful reducing agents. A reducing agent is the compound that gets oxidised in the reaction and, therefore, loses electrons. ... All Group II elements have 2 electrons in their outer shell. They generally lose these two outershell electrons in order to react and, by doing so, they form M2+ ions.
